Abstract
A light source apparatus for an endoscope includes an optical fiber that guides emission light emitted from a light source and is incident on a fiber end face, a ferrule having a ferrule end face having a through-hole in which the optical fiber is inserted, a holder to which the ferrule is fixed, the holder having a reflecting surface that reflects first reflected light to thereby emit second reflected light, the first reflected light being the emission light reflected on the fiber end face, and an optical sensor that receives the second reflected light disposed between the light source and the fiber end face and in a region facing the reflecting surface through an optical axis.
